Editorial Reviews

From part 5 of Morio Higaonna’s video series we understand more fully the connection between Goju Ryu karate and the Chinese boxing methods from which it developed.  In the complex advanced kata we discern elements of White Crane and Tiger Fist forms; in Tensho we detect the characteristic movements of Rokkishu; in kakie we cannot fail to recognize the push hands exercise known to almost all Chinese martial artists.  A formidable presentation that includes the kata Sesan, Suparinpei, (standard and advanced versions) and Tensho as well as the applications in kakie form of Gekisai, Seiyunchin, Shisochin, Kururunfa and Sesan.

Change is Continuous October 11, 2002
The production is of high quality and worth the purchase. The tape offers two versions of Suparinpei. One done substantially more slowly than the other one, other than the speed, there is no real difference. I did not find the performance of the kata as dynamic as Higaonna Sensei has performed them on other tapes.

Higaonna Sensei performs the kata a little differently on these tapes than he did in the Panther videos, but all things change, and he is certainly qualified to change what ever he desires. Personally, I found the Japanese Production of Higaonna Sensei performing all of the kata (1979-Reproduction also offered by Tsunami), and the performances on the Panther Videos significantly more dynamic than on this tape. If you are a Goju Ryu practitioner, this tape is still a worthy addition to your library.
